Hormel Foods (HRL) – Hormel fell 4.2% in the premarket after issuing a mixed batch of quarterly results and guidance.

Ciena (CIEN) – Ciena tumbled 11.6% in premarket trading after the networking equipment maker missed estimates on the top and bottom lines for its latest quarter. Ciena is still seeing strong customer demand but its sales continue to be impacted by component shortages.
Lands’ End (LE) – The apparel retailer’s stock slid 8.3% in premarket action in spite of a narrower-than-expected quarterly loss and sales that beat consensus. Lands’ End cut its full-year outlook as global supply chain challenges elevate expenses.

Okta (OKTA) – Okta skidded 16.1% in the premarket despite better-than-expected quarterly results and an improved outlook. The identity management software company said it was running into unexpected integration issues following its acquisition of rival Auth0 last year.
